Only Water

D
There's a shadow coming
A
as the sky goes black
G
It's a stubborn rain
on a Nebraska plain
D
There's a farmer standing
A
on a thirsty ground
G
He holds his breath
This is life or death
G A D
It's only water
[Refrão]
Bm G
And it washes over me
Bm G
Like a single river stone
m G Em7
Changes everything but has no power on its own
G A D
It's only water
There's a winding canyon
Where a mountain stood
Miles of earth and clay
Carried far away
But there's something holy
In these cathedral walls
They took a lot of years
And a lot of tears
It's only water
CHORUS
There once was a wedding
All the wine was gone
They said He's just a man
That's where it all began
It was only water
